As a challenge I painted this on a 3.5 inch square clay board (about the size of a coaster) with a script liner brush only. My water reflections leave a little to be desired, but it came out great and I had a lot of fun!!! Edit: I painted it again full size, and it was also fun in a different way

[@TheArtSherpa]

That is awesome, 💕

I love this one it is so beautiful and gives me of the impressionistic feel, so Isuppose I;ve learned something new; not all impressionistic paintings are just impressionism they can also be abstract. I really enjoy the colors and the composition as well as the end result. Thank you again Cinnamon. I can't believe I am doing all these abstracts and actually enjoying it, yes, even the challenging ones. 💕🧚‍♀

I'm so glad! and thank you 💚
